A 2 year old female goat weighing roughly 20 kg was brought to the Veterinary Clinical Complex at College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry in Jalukie, Nagaland, with a complaint of reduced appetite for the last three days, the detailed clinical examination revealed tick infestation, elevated body temperature, swollen pre-scapular lymph node and ocular discharge, the goat had regular deworming history. Peripheral blood samples were collected for parasitological examination. 2 ml of whole blood was drawn from the cephalic vein into an EDTA vacutainer for hematological analysis, ticks were also collected for morphological studies. Haematological findings indicated a slight reduction in hemoglobin count with neutrophilia. Microscopically, a blood smear examination revealed the presence of Theileria luwenshuni. The goat was treated with a combination of Buparvaquone and Oxytetracycline drugs, along with other supportive supplements and fluid therapy, resulting in relieving the clinical symptoms and clearing the blood of Theileria luwenshuni organism from the animal.
